📜 About

This script will help you install Photoshop CC 2020 on your Linux distribution using Wine.

Note

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

Caution

This is a working Photoshop, but he may have problems. You should understand that I cannot guarantee that any of the features you typically use will work.

Important

8.7 GB The size of the folder with Photoshop "$HOME/.photoshop_2020"

5.8 GB Prefix size with Photoshop "$HOME/.photoshop_2020/ps_prefix"

2.9 GB After installation, you can delete the ps_downloads folder "$HOME/.photoshop_2020/ps_downloads"

The purpose of this script is to minimize the possible difficulties that users may encounter during self-installation and configuration. It provides a step-by-step guide and performs all the necessary operations so that you can focus on your work without being distracted by the technical details of the compatibility processes.

🔥 Possible problems

Red screen in Camera Raw
Solution: Go to the Camera Raw settings(edit -> Camera Raw -> Performance) and turn off the graphic processor. p.s also turn off tooltips!
Black initial screen, create, export as
Solution: Check if there is gdiplus in the library section in the configuration of Wine.

Alternative: edit -> preferences -> general. Turn off "Show Start workspace" and turn on "Use legacy New document". "Export as" cannot be fixed through the settings, but there is a quick export. I only had this problem on Fedora
